Hi Guys,
I recently purchased a Rolex Sub a couple months ago but havent been able to get the Pam 111 out of my head. I love the style but have always been concerned with a Pam on my small wrist. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and wonder if the 44mm will be just too big. This is where I need your help. Can you guys please post your pics of Pams on wrists under 7 inches, hopefully some of you wear a Pam on a 6.5 wrist.

In addition to the watch case size, how mush strap or tail is left over? Pics of that view will be helpful too.

Thanks as always!

my wrists are 8'' but it was still a jump up for me,so your doing right in checking this out first,I've seen I few over on the Rolex section in the daily pics but wouldn't think wrists were mentioned.

here my 6.5" wrist shots :)

snog · 13 November 2010, 10:16 AM

suits you sir,you wear those well.

This is a great shot. Doesn't seem to appear too large on your wrist. Did it take time to get used to that size or does the Pam sit comfortable on the wrist?

mfer · 13 November 2010, 11:14 AM

Chris! 6.5" = MONEY. These things are supposed to be just a little big! We 6.5" wristed people are blessed b/c we can wear the 44mm watches and they are still a little big! They are just on the edge of acceptable! Get it man.

me on my 6.5"

and my favorite strap....

Here is one of those 45mm's just for fun. Wears much smaller btw...

Those with 7"+ need to get a 47mm to enjoy the experience we 6.5"ers get on the cheap! ;-)

Get it!

Speed · 13 November 2010, 12:35 PM

Oh Yeah... Same wrist size as you...

mfer · 13 November 2010, 12:42 PM

Convinced yet Chris?????????

I think she might be wearing a 44mm....maybe not...but maybe ;-)

cpsomas · 13 November 2010, 01:03 PM

You guys are awesome! Great pics. They do look great on smaller wrists!!

mfer - I'm convinced.

SubKing · 13 November 2010, 01:14 PM

i dunno guys.. even with my 8inch wrists i still think panerai watches still look huge on me.....

or maybe its just me? lol

dgr8dude · 13 November 2010, 01:15 PM

Great pics! I've been wearing my wife's 40mm Pam (048) for a few weeks now. I haven't tried the 44mms yet and afraid to get one because of my small wrist...I was thinking of getting a 44mm homage to try on before I pull the trigger on a Pam 111...hmm

It's weeeeaaaaaaarable.

snog · 13 November 2010, 01:28 PM

ok I'm now feeling left out with you 6.5 guys,so I've re-measured my wrist and have got to down to 7.5

as long as the watch is comfortable on your wrist,then size dosn't matter.

egzbuen · 13 November 2010, 03:45 PM

6.75 here buddy

Nica64 · 14 November 2010, 02:57 AM

Chris, get the 111.......... Pam's look good it doesn't matter the size of your wrist!!!

Great watches Ray!

Love that Sub...but I would have to have the winder on the other side.

karmatp · 14 November 2010, 11:52 PM

Chris, the amount of tail will depend on the strap size. The OEM straps that come with the watch wont give you much tail at all, it's the aftermarket straps that can come in much longer sizes. Lucky for you that all the aftermarket strap makers will make them to your size if you give them the dimensions you want, do you want tail or not?

I have a 7 1/4" wrist and I have some straps with very little tail and some nice vintage ammos with a bit more tail, it all depends on the look you want.

I was a Rolex only guy for years and I can tell you that I have never enjoyed a watch or a brand as much as I enjoy Panerai. They are fantastic watches and a pure joy when you get a nice little strap collection. Best of luck with your decision, the 111 is a fantastic choice for your first Pam.

I too am a 6.5"...
I think the 44/45mm are about the max that I can do...

here is a pretty famous 47mm and I think its a tad big..but I love to have this baby...

Spencer · 16 November 2010, 07:43 AM

It won't be too big on you. Get it! The 111 is a great all around "starter" ;) PAM.

esm · 16 November 2010, 09:33 AM

7.25" wrist here and the PAM000 sat well on my wrist IMO.

Have a PAM210 (45mm) coming my way soon-ish, will see how that one goes on me.

7.5" but I thought I'd post it anyway.

gold canyon · 16 November 2010, 12:37 PM

Damn. Now I want a Panerai again.

fc3s2k · 16 November 2010, 12:54 PM

E.Peynado · 16 November 2010, 04:24 PM

Pam 270 & pam 26

mgpdragon64 · 16 November 2010, 08:36 PM

Very Nice Shots most specially the PAM111! Very Elegant yet Sporty!

jvo300 · 16 November 2010, 10:02 PM

I also have 6.5 inch wrists. I think 44mm looks great. The 47mm is probably too large, but I love it anyway!!
